When properly cared for, your new appliance has been 

designed to be safe and reliable. Read all instructions 

carefully before use. These precautions will reduce the 

risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to persons. 

When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions 

must be followed, including those in the following pages. 

Examine the appliance after unpacking it. In the event of 

transport damage, do not plug it in.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR 

INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

▯

Use this unit only in the manner intended by the 

manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the 

manufacturer.

▯

Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at 

service panel and lock the service disconnecting 

means to prevent power from being switched on 

accidentally.
When the service disconnecting means cannot be 

locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, 

such as a tag, to the service panel.

WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC 

SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE 

FOLLOWING

▯

Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by

qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable

codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.

▯

Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and

exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel

burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the

heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety

standards such as those published by the National Fire

Protection Association (NFPA), and the American

Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning

Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

▯

When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not

damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

▯

Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

This appliance is not intended for operation with an 

external clock timer or a remote control.

To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure 

to duct air outside. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces 

within walls, ceilings, attics, crawl spaces or garages.

To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE 

FIRE:

Never leave surface units unattended at high settings.

Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that

may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat.

Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be 

allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

Use proper pan size. Always use cookware 

appropriate for the size of the surface element.

Do not flambé under the extractor hood or work with a 

naked flame. When switched on, the extractor hood 

draws flames into the filter. There is a risk of fire due to 

deposits on the grease filter!

For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust 

hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, 

drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires 

with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.
